CHAPTER 3 | INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

POWER

The included AC adapter should be connected to the POWER jack on the

XP-3 or the 12VDC/Ground terminals (see below). The power LED will turn-

on. Use only the supplied AC adapter to power the XP-3. Using a different

power adapter could result in damage to the XP-3 or poor performance.

ALTERNATIVE POWERING METHOD: POWER-OVER-ETHERNET

(POE)

The XP-3 can alternatively be powered using Power-Over-Ethernet,

allowing the power to be extended to the XP-3 over the same cat-5 cable

that carries Ethernet communication. If this method will be used, a class 3

POE router or POE injector will need to be used.

CONNECTION OF RTI RM-433 ANTENNA

Connect an RTI RM-433 to the +12VDC, GROUND, and SENSE IN 1

terminals. The SENSE IN 1 input must be congured as an RTI trigger

input using RTI’s Integration Designer software. (see Connection Options

diagrams for more information).

CONNECTION OF RTI KEYPAD

Connect an RTI in-wall keypad IR output to the GROUND and SENSE IN

1 terminals. The SENSE IN 1 input must be congured as an RTI trigger

input using RTI’s Integration Designer software. (see Connection Options

diagrams for more information).

NOTE: The RTI in-wall Keypad will need its own power source,

such as a power supply or CB-8 touchpanel connecting block (refer

to the operation guides of these devices for cabling requirements).

The RTI RK3-V in-wall Keypad, however, can be powered from the

same POE switch as the XP-3.

VOLTAGE SENSE INPUTS/RTI TRIGGER INPUT

The XP-3 has two voltage sense inputs (+3-24 VDC) that are congurable

within Integration Designer. During the execution of an event, macros can

trigger IR commands, RS-232 commands, relay closure, etc., based on the

status of the voltage sense input.

Connect positive lead from voltage source to Sense In 1 or 2 terminal

input and negative lead to Ground terminal.

NOTE: The SENSE IN 1 terminal can be congured in Integration

Designer as an input for the RTI RM-433 antenna and RTI in-wall

keypads.

NOTE: When congured as an RTI trigger input, it does not allow

IR pass-through from external devices and does not support IR

receivers.

It’s Under Control

CONNECTING IR EMITTERS TO OUTPUT PORTS

The multi-purpose input/output (MPIO) port and 2 IR emitter ports on

the XP-3 are compatible with industry standard infrared emitters and

connecting blocks. Each output port is capable of driving up to two infrared

emitters directly. More than two infrared emitters per port requires an

amplied connecting block. A connecting block can be wired up to 1000

feet away from the XP-3 using #22 AWG (minimum) wire.

ADJUSTING IR OUTPUT GAIN

The IR output gain can be separately adjusted for each of the three output

ports. The XP-3 is shipped with the IR gain set to the optimum level for

most equipment, and it should only need to be adjusted if the attached

equipment is not responding reliably.

If adjustment is needed, rotate the IR output controls on the front of the

XP-3 clockwise for higher output power, or counter-clockwise for lower

output power.

CONNECTING POWER SENSOR MODULES

The multi-purpose output port on the XP-3 is compatible with RTI power

sensing modules (e.g. VPS-1 and SPS-1). Follow the guide included with

the modules for installation instructions, and follow the instructions in the

Integration Designer software for programming details.

CONNECTING COMMUNICATION MODULES

The multi-purpose output port on the XP-3 is compatible with RTI

communication modules (e.g. CM-232). Follow the guide included with

the modules for installation instructions, and follow the instructions in the

Integration Designer software for programming details.

RELAYS

The two relays in the XP-3 can provide contact closure or switching control

for loads up to 5A/30VDC each. Both relays are Normally Open when not

energized, but they can be programmed to behave Normally Closed as long

as power is applied to the XP-3.

For contact closure control, connect the A and B contact terminals of a

relay to the desired device.

ETHERNET

This RJ-45 port allows connection to a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet network

(LAN) for programming, control and two-way communication with

compatible devices. Network settings such as the IP address are

congurable within Integration Designer. This port also supports Power-

over-Ethernet (POE) which will power the XP-3 (see powering section).

USB PORT

Used to download the Integration Designer programming software or

rmware into the XP-3.

RS-232 PORT

The XP-3 is capable of two-way RS-232 communication and uses industry

standard cat5 cable with RJ-45 termination (EAI-561).

NOTE: RS-232 communication is limited to 50 feet depending on the baud

rate.

It’s Under Control

CHAPTER 3 | INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

PROGRAMMING THE XP-3

Please note that the XP-3 must be programmed to operate. All

programming is done using RTI’s Integration Designer software and is

downloaded using the USB port.

After the Ethernet parameters are congured, system les can be

downloaded over Ethernet.

The software allows you to create actions (e.g. commands and macros)

that are associated with button presses on one or more RTI remote

controls. The software transparently creates all of the system trigger

codes, and generates the correct download for every device in the

system. Unless you implement some of the software’s advanced features,

programming a system that uses a XP-3 is just as easy as programming

one that doesn’t.

STATUS LED

The status LED will illuminate green and stay green if there is no

Integration Designer system le installed on the XP-3.

The status LED will illuminate red for a few seconds while the XP-3 is

loading the Integration Designer system le that is installed. Once nished

loading, the status LED will shut off.

The status LED will illuminate green if a valid system trigger code is

detected. The LED will stay on while the XP-3 is busy processing the action

associated with the trigger code.

The status LED will illuminate red and stay red to indicate if the XP-3 is in

rmware update mode. This process is described in the rmware update

wizard. If there is a rmware update available for the XP-3, it can be found

on the dealer section of the RTI website (www.rticorp.com/dealers).

Net Link LED

The Net Link LED will illuminate if the XP-3 is connected to an Ethernet

network.

RF Link LED

The RF Link LED blinks when establishing communication or transferring

information via 2.4Ghz Zigbee RF.

SETTING THE ZONE CODE

If the XP-3 is installed utilizing the RM-433 RF antenna, in close proximity

to other RTI control systems using 433MHz RF, the system Zone Code can

be changed in the Integration Designer software. This allows up to 256

separate control systems to operate in the same general area, such as

multi-dwelling units or homes with more than one media system.
